Abstract
Abstract Porphyrins, known for generating toxic singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) to combat bacteria, face challenges such as hydrophilicity and limited lifespan and 1 O 2 yield. Conversely, triterpenoid compounds like ammonium glycyrrhizinate (AG) offer antioxidative and antibacterial properties but lack efficacy and stability. Combining them in Metal‐Organic Frameworks (MOFs) yields dual‐ligand zirconium (Zr)‐basedMOFs (M‐TG), capitalizing on porphyrins' membrane‐disrupting ability and AG's inhibition of bacterial membrane synthesis for a synergistic antibacterial effect. M‐TG resolves activity loss, enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield, and extends stability, achieving a remarkable 99.999% sterilization rate. This innovative approach maximizes ligand properties through synergistic effects, promising significant advancements in antibacterial material design.
